Syntax to increment variable names in repeat loop

[Keith Clarke]

Yes, an array seems to be the way to go, as LiveCode doesn't throw errors (yet!) if I use...

repeat with tCycle = 1 to 10
put "some ugly returned XML string" into tResult[tCycle]["Response"]
end repeat

Thanks for listening! :-)
Best,
Keith..
